For each node, create a debian package applying all the facts defined in the yaml file.
Based on deb-packager.
For each yaml file in nodes/:
- Load each fact package defined in the
factskey - Assign each variable defined in the node to the fact's variables (either single values, lists or property lists)
- Run each hook available in the fact's package
The hooks:
add-dependencyadd-data-fileadd-control-file
A "standard library" will be provided to make common things easy.
The package factual.core will use the provided hooks and generate
the debian package based on that. The hooks will basically have a
package instance passed to them, or an abstraction of some kind.
The package factual provides an abstraction over hooks, as in
functions like ensure-package-exists (not sure yet how to do
this... should it be (defmethod ensure ((type :package) &allow-other-keys)) or something similar?), that the facts will
usually use.
The facts shouldn't have to use the low-level hooks. The factual
package should provide everything necessary.
